To give a floor a good brown tingemake a stain of one pint boiled linseed oil, one tablespoon burnt umber,one pint of turpentine, one tablespoon sienna, and two tablespoonschromo yellow. This stain will serveas a filler as well as a finish on asmooth floor with no cracks. Applytwo coats and then wax.o oIf fortune smiles who doesn't?If fortune doesn't who does?.gmmmmmtmtmmmm
